Are you, like Fedor, linking to the CRT statically (/MT)? If so, does
linking dynamically (/MD) change anything? I wonder if this leads to a
condition where CRT functionality is being used before it has been
initialized -- because initialization order between the CRT and libprotobuf
would not be defined when linking statically. I don't know what CRT
features we use that would not work before dynamic init, though. You'd
think the CRT would be carefully written so that everything works no matter
how early you call it.
